Eileen left home quite young and started modelling to earn her keep, moving from place to place all around South London. She did game shows, mud wrestling, kiss-o-grams, TV parts, pop promos. She got serious about her acting in her mid-20s. Eileen always loved horror films and had wanted to star in them. So when she started getting parts in a few little horror films, it changed her focus on what she wanted to do. It was around this time that she met Nigel Wingrove and together they started up a company called Redemption Films. The recognition she got from the Redemption work became the turning point of her career.

She has appeared in films such as The Last Exorcism, Alone In The Dark, Cradle of Fear, Kannibal, Sentinels of Darkness, Neon, Machines of Love & Hate Razor Blade Smile, Witchcraft X and more.
